Measure hole distance from an angled surface.

[Darrollh]

Good morning,
I need some help. I am measuring a hole distance that's on an angled surface. I cannot get this dimension right for the life of me. Please help. I am measuring from hole 13 to plane 4. I have attached a snip. Capture.14.PNG

im not exactly sure what you are asking but i think you need to measure the circle as a cylinder and then intersect it with what even plan its starts from and then you should be able to dimension the intersection point to plan 4

Thank you! That was what I was missing!

[Darrollh]

Sorry. I jumped the gun. that didn't work.

Is Hole13 not pictured in the view, or is it the radius that CIR13 is visually pointing to?

If it's truly a hole not pictured, make a plane that's normal to the top plane that hole13 is coming from. then, make a cylinder for hole13. Intersect plane to cylinder to create a point, distance the point from plane4.

I did that and I am still coming up 0.010 short.

Can you post the code ? (it will help about vectors, number of hits...)
Is it possible that the part is out ?

[Darrollh]

This is actually the cad I am measuring from.

[JEFMAN]

So the code is needed...

[louisd]

ok so your CAD theo is per print? or is maybe your CAD wrong? lol

[JEFMAN]

Did you try "Reset measured values to nominal” like DmisDave suggest ?

Thank you all for your input. Turns out the CAD and the print is wrong. Thanks again!!
